Part of the training in using hearing aid involves a user to learn what to ignore and where to focus. The brain finally becomes more adapt at it and things seem to improve, not because the patient’s tinnitus is less severe, but because the patient is able more easily focus on the increased desired signal (for example, conversation) and ignore the spurious sounds which would seem relatively less loud. But for this to happen, you have to wear your hearing aid most of the time even when you are not in a conversation with people… it effects everything, listening to music, watching a show etc.
